Heating season in Brno, Czechia, began today, later than in previous years

For the first time since 22 May, radiators in homes across Brno warmed up this morning. In response to falling morning and evening temperatures, Teplárny Brno has started the heating season, the city-owned company said in a press release.

„Heating systems switch on automatically when the outdoor temperature falls below 15 degrees Celsius and remain off when it is higher. Mornings and evenings will certainly be more comfortable, especially for families with small children and for seniors, who will be able to turn up the heat if needed. Customers who do not yet feel the need for heating can leave it switched off,“ said Petr Fajmon, CEO of Teplárny Brno.

Under the law, heat suppliers must begin deliveries when the average daily temperature falls below 13 degrees for three consecutive days and is not expected to rise again according to the forecast. This condition has not yet been met because of high afternoon temperatures, but the systems respond to low morning and evening temperatures, which in Brno have fallen below ten degrees Celsius.
